Limited info exists on receiving XML invoices in SRM. Looking for additional documentation. I am working with SRM 4.0 standalone.
- Can SRM accept XML invoices without a 2 way match only
without requiring a confirmation?
- Can SRM accept XML non-PO invoices?
I know manually these can be done in SRM but not sure with XML invoice. From limited documentation found, it seems the XML invoice requires a receipt(GR) do be done at some point which implies requiring a PO and a 3 way match.
Thanks,
Bryan
Hi Bryan,
1- Yes
For 2 or 3 way match invoice, this depend on the value of PO flag "GR based IV". The FM BBP_IV_ASSIGNMENT will get proposal for the invoice:
- if this flag is not set, PO data is used
- else GR data is used
2- Yes
you should look at FM BBP_BC_INVOICE_CREATE2.
Deeper in the functions, there is a call to BBP_IV_CRT_CHECK where I can read:
non-PO invoices are not supported in a market set multi company environment --> this is rarely the case
The kind of invoice (PO or non PO) is determined in FM BBP_IV_REF_OBJ_CHECK that checks reference objects:
- If none, then this is a non PO invoice,
- if some, then the PO reference are checked:
If the ref. PO doesn't exist this may have several reasons:
-> We deal with a classic scenario where the PO is located in the backend
-> We deal with a industry or customer specific scenario
(e.g. leasing) with the PO located elsewhere
-> There is an error in the invoice and the referenced PO really does not exist.
In all cases we just raise an error because they are not supp.
If the sybtype of the PO is c_subtype_ep we are dealing with an extended classic or direct material scenario.
We raise an error because this is not supported
Usual limitation: inbound flow (from SUS or external XML doc) for GR or IV does not support ECS.
In classic mode, the std design is to send those docs directly in R/3 (then we loose the SRM approval feature --> see threads on this topic).
In local mode, no problem for those inbound docs.
With new SRM 5.0 Invoice Management System, all scenarios are supported (for IV).
